Cries Hannah Beloved
I Caught You When You Fell
Crash Music CMU 61182 28 Nov 2006
By Ryan Starr
Yet another band that sat in the to do list for a while. This time we have Cries Hannah, a now defunct Christian screamo/metalcore band. Apparently, they didnt ask God for advice and they made some mistakes and broke up. That didnt stop them from putting out a half way decent album though.
I dont like the style, but its a solid release. Its catchy, easy on the ears, and they show a bit of talent too. There are some awkward spots in the lead work though. It sounded like the fingers werent moving like they were intended to. And that is rather weird, considering the rest of the album is polished to a parade gloss. I cant imagine theyd let sloppy playing go uncorrected. But none the less, there it is.
One positive aspect is the disciplined use of breakdowns. There are only a couple in the entire CD, which is a breathe of fresh air. Nearly every core release I have reviewed seriously abuses breakdowns. Im glad to see a band put some effort into variety.
You may not like their sound, or their religion, but you cant deny it when a band does their thing and does it well.
